Is it normal to be this skinny for my age?

Is it normal to be a 17 year old male weighing 111 lbs and be 5'8?

I really feel that a lot of girls reject me and find me disgusting because i am skinny..

    I'm 5'9 and like 114 (now that I gained like a lb or 2 of muscle.

    You don't want to believe this, in a few years you will; they are jealous. They don't like that you are thin by accident. They don't like themselves, and take it out on you.

    When I was 17, a girl I've never met before walked by me and accused me of being a "fucking skinny cunt". I heard a lot of shit like that. I got made fun of a lot. Even by my friends, who said things that hurt, even though we made fun of each other for kicks. I cried so much.

    Stop giving a fuck. Start loving your body because being thin is uncommon these days. I think you'll be perfectly grateful for your body in the following years.

    But build muscle. You'll look like a super model.

    Wow your soo skinny. But I doubt girls reject you because your skinny maybe they aren't into you like that.

    I could relate to you I weighed 100 pounds at ages 16-22 at 5'4. I don't know if it's normal for you to weigh that much for your height.

    According to the body mass index chart is not normal. Your under weight.

    fried chicken, white rice. beer before the meal, especially when you are absolutely starving. let the fried chicken be spread out evenly so that they can breath and cool down without losing its crispy texture. let the rice cool down to, so that you have nice bites of rice to respond with the chicken (make the rice wet, and it cools down to have a firm but soft texture, like sushi, less the vinegar). enjoy, repeat, get creative (Italian sausage) (Home made burgers, and potatoes)

    First of all, you'll probably gain weight as you get older. If not, life goes on. I'm 26 (female), 90 lbs. and 5'4. Yeah, some guys find it off-putting and some people ask me stupid questions like "Do you eat?", but, alas, I've had boyfriends who thought I was beautiful and some guys still like me.
    If this is a skinny phase or a long-lasting state, either way, you're fine and life goes on.

    Drink lots of beer. That is very calorific.

      Usually when someone is very skinny and doesn't like it, they are not withholding calories from themselves and don't need to be informed of high-calorie food or beverages.

        Well it worked for me and I used to be very skinny, even scrawny.

    That's a little skinny, but honestly nothing to be worried about! This coming from somebody who was not much heavier when he was that height, tho, so value it as you please. Good Luck!

    Fucking do something about it then. I posted this on a similar story the other day so I'l just paste it here as well - I was in a similar situation for most of my life About 4 year ago I wss 5'11 and weighed 10 stone or 140 pounds, which was really skinny. I started to change my diet and work out and now I am about 14 stone or 196 pound and my body fat is at about 10%. In my profile picture I was 11 1/2 stone or 160 pounds and about 12% body fat. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication but it is possible to change.
